Le Centre Horloger, Neuchâtel

"I've always wanted to know more about the watchmaking world, so I contacted Neuchâtel tourism to participate in a workshop to build my own mechanical watch. I found the Centre Horloger's offer really fascinating and original. On the day of the workshop, I was welcomed by the workshop owner, who first started with a theoretical introduction. He explained the specific vocabulary of the tools and components used for the assembly of a watch. I was then able to start building my own pocket watch with a skeleton movement. I really appreciated this fun watchmaking experience!
